Dalma Galfi to beat Gabriella Pantuckova (Bol 10k)@1,4 Anett Kontaveit to beat Tereza Mrdeza (Istanbul 50k)@1,57 Double@2,19, bet365, 4/10

Anett Kontaveit better form, better player on hard court and better potential! BUT main reason is that Mrdeza is in the Q for Marrakech WTA that starts tomorrow. She must lose here to enter the WTA on her more favourable surface. Not sure what she wants but I liek Kontaveit's chances on this surface. Now the other bet is a relatively easy one, Pnatuckova has a WC offered from Prague wta Q, her hometown and will not miss this opportunity and will head home for sure. Galfi would be a big task anyways, but for a measley itf semifinal you dont turn down a wta q WC that was OFFERD to you in your hometown. GL!

Tamara Zidansek to beat Nina Alibalic (Bol 10k)@2,25, bet365, 3/10

Zidansek has been having an incredible junior journey in South America the start of the year, where she won a G1 (equal to a strong 10k or a medium 25k tourney) and came runner up on the next one, and finishing third on both february and march G1 event in Europe, beating Sandra Samir her last tournament, so she is still riding that hot streak and I was surprised about the loss last week vs Rubini, but we all know the time she has been having also. Now Alibalic I rate a very good upcoming youngster also, but this is her first outside clay court tournament of the year and this will show as a problem, otherwise would be a 50-50 matchup imo, now I rate this rather a 65-35 to Zidansek, home court advantage is negligable as Croatia and Slovenia are neighhbouring countries. So Alibalic streak of last year is not so important right now, imho. GL!
